Snacks I love

Apr 29, 2009

I don't do protein shakes.  I hate them.  As soon as I could consume enough protein to stop the shakes I stopped em.  I will nibble on meat all day if I have to - just to avoid protein shakes.  When I do need a protein boost, or even just want something tastey that isn't totally bad for me, this is what I reach for at the moment -
Nuts - usually smoked almonds or pistachios
ISS Oh Yeah Protein Wafer - totally yum.  Tastes like a candy bar to me.  I usually eat one wafer and save the other until tomorrow. 
ISS Oh Yeah Protein Bar - even yummier, but a little more dangerous unless I can find the snack sized.  When I buy the full sized bar, it's a little hard to stop unless I cut the bar in advance. 
South Beach Peanut Butter Bar - I'm not certain of the exact name because I don't have it in front of me, but it's the kind you find in the granola bar section of the grocery store (not the protein bar section).  It takes like the Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats that I used to make.  Feels like a real treat to me.  Note - I think the bars contain too much Malitol and give a little abdominal distress if I eat the bars two days in a row.  I take a one day break and I'm fine.
Mini Quiches - I took this tip from eggface!  I make up a batch of crustless quiches in a mini muffin pan, then I freeze them.  I usually have 2 in the morning for breakfast (with a piece of Very Thin Bread from Pepperidge Farm).

I will admit, i have been considering buying some Click because as the weather is getting warmer, I've been craving a frappucino.  I'm thinking that Click might do the trick.  If I do, I'll let you know.
